I was going to try out my new OH1 optical heart rate arm band on the water. Plus, I was going to test the updated RowP app with the Quiske Sensor. More about the latter on a separate blog post on analytics.rowsandall.com.

Despite leaving early, I lost some precious time. When I arrived at the club, I realized I didn’t have the keys to the boat house, so I had to drive home to fetch them. That cost me more than 30 minutes, and with the early darkness that was a problem.

The row was great but I had to return early to avoid darkness.

Oh, and regarding the OH1 arm band? I like it. I was completely unaware that I was wearing it. I am looking forward to never having to adjust a chest strap on the water again! I have rowed many kilometers with a chest strap on my hips.
